  1. The conference sounds great.
    Dr. Head, will any of these papers be posted at the Tyndale House website? I am very interested in reading your observations on the dating of papyri.
    Thank you

  2. My understanding is that the other two papers are destined for publication. Mine may be postable to a website I guess (I doubt it will be publishable in the form it will have on Wednesday). Also it is more of a prolegomena than an actual connected argument.

  3. Okay, thank you. I see that you posted a bibliography, thank you. Judging by your works cited, I think I can see where you are going with your discussion.
    Very cool.
